In a bold and breathtaking reimagining of Thailand’s cherished Songkran Festival, One Bangkok has launched what promises to be the most immersive and sensational celebration of the Thai New Year. From 10–15 April 2025, the city’s largest integrated district will be transformed into a lagoon-inspired utopia titled “One Bangkok, One Lagoon: Splashing Songkran Rhythms,” blending water-themed tradition with artistic innovation, wellness, music, and next-level retail.

“Songkran has always been about celebration, cleansing, and community,” stated Palinee Kongchansiri, Chief Retail Officer of One Bangkok. “This year, we wanted to create something transformative—something that ignites inspiration, encourages connections, and unites people through experiences rooted in Thai identity. One Bangkok will become the pulse of this new vision.”

The event’s theme draws inspiration from the lagoon—a natural symbol of harmony, serenity, and motion—mirroring One Bangkok’s ethos of urban harmony between nature, architecture, and lifestyle.

Four Immersive Zones: Where Tradition Meets Transformation

1. Mystical Forest Along One Bangkok Boulevard: The Mystical Forest sets a tone of serenity and reflection. Lush greenery surrounds a mystical pathway with mist, floating lotus leaves, and suspended butterflies. Guests are invited to rejuvenate their senses through sound bath healing sessions and RLAX signature massages for neck, shoulder, and back. It is designed for inner peace and a nod to Songkran’s spiritual roots.

2. Flow Paradise: A tropical stage rises in One Bangkok Park, glowing with world-class lights and sound. Flow Paradise is where the heart races, featuring nightly mini-concerts from more than 16 top Thai artists and DJs. The Tropical Bar serves fruit-inspired refreshments while kids marvel at whimsical fruit-shaped installations. Entry is seamless—flash your One Bangkok Retail Mobile App.

One Bangkok member who shops or dines for 2,000 THB can join a DIY Tropical Mocktail workshop. With a 3,000 THB spend or six loyalty points, guests receive an exclusive One Lagoon Tropical Tote Bag.

4. Harmony Village Rooted in reverence, Harmony Village brings timeless Thai traditions to life. Guests can pour water on sacred Buddha statues from Ayutthaya’s most revered temples, each with a rich cultural narrative.
